Salt And Steel Chapter 55.
Chase. 'And guess what? I loved killing him.' His words from moments ago echo in my ears. He loved killing my father? I stare at him. He returns my stare with a look I barely recognize. His eyes are murderous as he continues. "I wanted my own hidden stash, locked away in a bank somewhere as well. I wanted the best life as well. I wanted my own family." His voice darkens. "But most importantly, I wanted all my brother had. His life. Everything." He declares it coldly. I don't know how I manage to remain calm as I watch him. Though hot anger bristles inside me at his words, most of his words were already written in those papers. The journals from the Pharoah's father about his meeting with my biological father, Crane Olympus. One particular entry flashes through my mind now. 'Crane Olympus spoke to me for hours. Told me how his elder brother, Kane, envied him. Told me how he always eavesdropped on Kane, telling others how he wished he could have everything Crane had. Eve

Chase. Meanwhile. "Alright. Flag and restrict every activity carried out through the accounts of Mr Fitzgerald and his wife." My voice comes out tight and professional over the phone. My gaze stays fixed on the CCTV monitors, watching every activity inside and outside the house. I pinch the bridge of my nose between my thumb and index finger, trying to remain calm. Trying to remain steady. "Yes, Sir," my man responds. "But what about their daughter? Should we do the same to her?" he asks carefully. "No. The federal agent who called me moments ago didn't demand that. He was only specific about Mr and Mrs..." The door suddenly flies inward with a loud bang. And in walks the man of the fucking hour. So called Crane Olympus. "Where is that prick?!" His furious eyes sweep around the room until they finally land on me. The instant they do, I watch his expression darken into something even uglier. "Just handle Mr and Mrs Fitzgerald," I finish into the phone before hanging up. Sli

Lucy. Chase’s Residence, New York. Friday, 3rd April. Next day. Morning. “That was some delicious breakfast, Meera.” I say to Meera as I stand behind her in the kitchen. She stills in the middle of speaking to the maid, then turns to me, a warm smile on her face. “That’s fine, Ms Roshid.” She says warmly. “I needed to spoil you rotten with this new recipe that I got for breakfast. So I made it,” she says excitedly as she comes to stand in front of me. I smile, remembering how delicious the food tasted. “I didn’t even ask the name. I just dived into the food like a hungry bear.” I say as I help her reach for the glass cup in front of me that she has been trying to reach. “You shouldn’t do these chores, Miss.” She protests quietly as she receives the glass cup. There is no malice in her words. Only affection. “I have told you countless times. I and the other in house staff have got this.” She smiles as she crosses over to place the glass cup inside the cupboard. “Oh, I would alw

Tamara. Dale's Residence, New York. Thursday, 2nd of April. Three days later. Night. Dad asked us to meet here. "I have invited Olympus to the meeting as well. I want to tell him what his little pup has been up to concerning the girl, Salt." Dad said when he called me earlier today. Now I'm here, in his house, wondering how Crane Olympus is going to take his son betraying him over a delivery. I stand in the middle of the living room, watching the large wall portraits of myself, Dad, and Mum. Well, I was a baby in all the paintings. I had no idea of the world back then. All I had was this innocent smile, one that was void of all the pain the world could give. The pain of losing my family. The pain of losing Mum. The humiliation of losing Chase to a nobody. My phone pings with a message, dragging my thoughts back to the present. I pull it out until I'm staring at the screen. A new message from Chase. My heart skips. Since that kidnapping incident that caused the death of T

Chase. Villa Rose, Jounieh, Lebanon. Monday, 30th March. Next day. Morning. I stand at the edge of the terrace, overlooking the beautiful coast. The waves lap arrogantly against the shore. Unperturbed by the sparse number of boats and yachts floating atop them. Unperturbed by the surrounding human activity. Unperturbed by my pain. The events of yesterday slam back into me. Fresh and hot. My near death experience, when The Pharaoh threatened me with a fucking gun pressed to my skull. Me turning the tables on him and challenging his armed men. "Drop your weapons!" I had yelled at The Pharaoh and his men. The chaos. The tension. Samson Carmi's dread as he watched the scene unfold. In the end, they had complied. The weapons were dropped, and Amir apologized. Well, as much as he possibly could. "Come, Olympus. Let us celebrate our alliance. Me pledging my loyalty to you." Those had been The Pharaoh's words. That had been his own version of an apology for almost executing me. The

Lucy. Villa Rose, Jounieh, Lebanon. Later... Evening. Rain falls heavily, pelting against the rooftop like hard hail. But this isn't hail. This is rain. The sky is dark and gloomy, as though some terrible darkness has fallen upon us. It is only 5:30 pm, yet it already looks as though night has descended over the world. I stand by the sliding door leading to the terrace, my gaze locked on the pool. Watching the rain relentlessly strike the water's surface. My mind beats restlessly as worry consumes me. I haven't heard from Chase since he left the house. I don't know why, but I've felt this unbearable tightness in my chest all day. Every single time my thoughts drift to him, it only grows worse. "I hope you're okay, Chase." My voice comes out small as I pull the woolen shawl tighter around my shoulders. "Please... be okay." My phone suddenly rings in my hand. I glance down until the screen lights up. Mum. "Hi, Mum," I say as I answer. "Hi, honey." Mum's voice is warm and gen

Chase.Present day. Same night.I watch Lucy cry.My chest tightens, hard and viciously. A twisting ache clamps around my ribs and refuses to let go. She’s folded over the dining table, sitting upright but breaking apart. Her hands gripping her head like she can physically hold herself together. Sh

Lucy.Night.I sit alone at dinner.The food should taste really good in my mouth, but it doesn’t. My mind keeps going back to Dad. Keeps going back to our agreement. Now that Davenport is dead, word must have reached him. Would he have my mum hurt?"Oh God… please… he shouldn’t." A small cry esca

Chase. Sunday, 7th February. Next day. Morning. Lucy sleeps on the bed, and I sit here watching her, memorizing every breath she takes. The slow rise and fall of her chest. The way her body sprawls across the sheets, boneless with exhaustion. Daylight streams in through the naked floor-to-ceil

Lucy. “Give me our coats and the car keys,” Chase barks at his men as I’m carried over his shoulder and we’re thrown into the cold. “Let me go, Chase!” I struggle, but his hold is iron. The man, Cameo, hands him the coats, and Chase keeps moving toward the car. That’s when I elbow him hard.
